Bristan updates Joy thermostatic shower

Bristan has updated its popular Joy thermostatic shower, offering a host of highly innovative and functional features to busy installers and their customers.

Unlike other electric shower models, the new Joy features a unique warm up mode that promises an invigorating showering experience by the user. Users simply need to set the desired temperature and wait for the indicator light to flash signalling that the water has reached its peak temperature.

For added functionality, the updated Joy also incorporates phased shutdown technology whereby, when the shower is turned off, the water will continue to run for a short time putting cold water into the heater can. This clever mechanism can help to reduce lime-scale build-up, significantly prolonging the life of units installed in hard water areas.

Further features include an illuminated stop/start button and an easy to read LED digital setting display, for ultimate ease of use for everyone in the family, including the very young, elderly and less able.

As with previous models, the new version of the Joy electric shower utilises Bristan’s thermostatic technology to regulate the water temperature, helping to balance extreme changes when water is used elsewhere in the home, and ultimately reducing the risk of scalding and ensuring safety. And, with the installer in mind, the updated Joy shower is easy to fit with multiple water and cable entry points and a unique error code display – meaning a fast, fuss-free fit.

Lisa Ward, product group manager at Bristan, comments: “Since its inception our Joy electric shower has proven incredibly popular with installers, favoured for its ease of install and sleek, versatile design. As such, it was a natural next step to enhance the range to provide optimal user experience and functionality, in order to ensure even broader appeal for the installer.

“In particular, the phased shutdown feature offers a distinctively different selling point for installers, as it safeguards enhanced performance and reduced maintenance for the user. Equally, the new display features ensure ease of use for all ages and abilities which can be a crucial requirement for the modern family.

“All of these value added features make the Joy electric shower the ultimate solution installers and end-users alike. And, as it is affordably priced, there really is a reason to jump for joy.”
